Chapter 1

1. What problems or conflicts are presented in chapter one? Tao needing to find a rabbit is an obvious one; identify at least two more (not having anything to do with the rabbit!).The problems in chapter 1 are that the boy gives the mouse to the dog and the dog refuses to eat it.He did not like that he couldnt do paintings anymore
2.predict the resolution of each conflict.I think that the dog is going to eat the mouse just that he felt bad for the boy.I think Tao is going to realize that he could do whatever he sets his heart to.

Example:
sample conflict : Tao needs to find a rabbit.
sample predicted resolution: He will find the one he lost.

conflict 1:He wants to go into the slew.
predicted resolution 1:He is going to break the clans rules.

predicted resolution 2:He will not listen to the clan and he will go hunting with the wolf.dx
